Blood Money 1990 Arcade action
The speech in the introductory sequence probably sums things up best - "the biggest unanswered question is 'where is the money?" The player has 4 missions to take on, in each case trying to kill baddies for the money they have, which can be spent in the shop rooms to upgrade their craft. Energy is depleted by contact with enemies and the walls, although there are some baddies who simply hover on your ship and steal, rather than physically doing damage. The game is a shoot 'em up which scrolls both horizontally and vertically, while being viewed from an R-Type style sideways...
TV Sports Football 1989 Sports
Before Electronic Arts sought to imitate television coverage of sports with their EA Sports titles, Cinemaware had the same idea, initially applying it to (American) Football. Cutscenes follow dramatic moments in the match, and each match is preceded by a TV-style introduction. The game is primarily action-based, although you also choose your plays before executing them. You then bring the passes and runs to life on the pitch itself. You can play single matches or full leagues, with any of the NFL teams of the time. ...
Earth 2150: The Moon Project 2000 Strategy
Earth 2150 was a high water mark in strategy gaming. Deep, complex and beautiful to behold (though exceedingly difficult at times), Earth 2150 succeeded in offering a gaming experience that only a marriage of Alpha Centauri and Total Annihilation could have otherwise achieved. In doing so it also served to quiet all those dissenters of the RTS genre who belittle its gameplay mechanics as little more than "mass-rush" hysteria. When a developer gets this much right a follow-up becomes obligatory. The dilemma Topware Interactive faced, creators of both Earth 2150 and The Moon Project, was in not breaking what so...
Heat Wave: Offshore Superboat Racing (a.k.a. Powerboat USA) 1990 Sports
Heat Wave: Offshore Superboat Racing is a racing game in which the player uses a power boat to race against four AI opponents. There are various aspects to keep track of during a race, like avoiding overheating the motors or a steady adjustment of the trim. During the race it may be needed to stop and conduct repairs on the ship due to contact with the opponents or the environment. However, it is important that the player took repair parts and fuel (which can be chosen after the qualifying race) with them. There are six courses and an editor to...
Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy 2002 Adventure
Inspired by the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Mystery of the Mummy has Holmes investigating the disappearance, and assumed death, of a famed Egyptologist. Elizabeth Montcalfe has asked Holmes to check out the Montcalfe Mansion, a Victorian home that doubles as a museum, for clues to her father's disappearance. You quickly find yourself exploring the house's rooms and artifacts, where nothing is as elementary as it seems. Mystery of the Mummy should not be confused with the Sherlock Holmes games put out by Electronic Arts in the mid-90s. Those games were deeply layered and story-driven, while one could easily describe Mystery of...
Gothic II 2002 Role playing
Gothic II returns players to Khorinis, but the magical barrier around the mines has been removed and players are free to explore the entire island of Myrtana. A civil war rages between the ex-convicts, the militia, and the evil orcs. Three different guild factions -- the paladins, the mages, and the dragonslayers -- exist, and players must choose only one. The economy in Gothic II is depressed and, with merchants demanding outrageous prices for weapons, players may choose to forge their own blades and save money. The developers at Piranha Bytes focused on improving the AI of non-player characters --...

Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri 1996 Arcade action
Looking Glass's Terra Nova manages to blend ideas from a number of games into one unified whole. It uses an interesting keyboard/mouse control scheme like Doom, draws heavily on the clan-based settlements of MechWarrior, and puts you in the sort of powered body armor Heinlein dreamt of in Starship Troopers. The game takes place in the late 23rd Century. Colonists have been sent to the worlds of Alpha Centauri by the Earth Hegemony. The distance between the Hegemony and the colonies have allowed for a clan-based culture to flourish in the reaches of space. Unfortunately, the Hegemony is now moving...

Snooper Troops 1982 Educational
